Topic: Chicken Makhani - by Sanjeevkapoor Khazana

This recipe is very like another on YouTube I posted or perhaps it was someone else?
The important thing here is that they a FRESH tomatoes and really need cooking well. Interesting point on frying them too to keep the color.

I did say sometime ago to use Italian tomatoes owing to the fact that the flesh of these toms yield a lighter sauce, its just not red. Some good points so I've learned something there too.

Heres a tasty little recipe to use fresh tomatoes.
Chop some toms up, throw them in a frying pan along with a little oil and a pinch of salt and pepper and just fry them for 5 minutes until they are broken down and sticky.
Take  a slice of bread and dunk it in the tomatoes and eat it.
You'll be surprised at the sweetness that comes out of the toms, and also if you let the toms catch a bit and brown on the edges they get better still.

Has anybody ever tried this recipe as a marinade?

Going to try out Sanjee's Butter Chicken, but he don't say anything about marinading the chicken

Going to try out Sanjee's Butter Chicken, but he don't say anything about marinading the chicken

Surely he does : right at the beginning of reel one (the first 6m44)

1st marinade : g/g paste, lemon juice, salt.  Wrap basin cling film and leave to rest for one hour.

2nd marinade : hung yoghurt, Kashmiri red chilli powder,  crushed dried methi leaves (Kasouri methi), garam masala (home made), pressed mustard oil (vital). 
Mix and pour all over chicken that is still sitting in its first marinade (after removing the cling film !).  Leave to rest for three to four hours.

 Your looking at the wrong video, The OP is Sanjee, not this one.
Just wondered what people thought of this one to go with Sanjee's chicken
Could by my fault, not explaining it properly

;D ;D ;D

But to return to the marinade : Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi, in the OP video, speaks of (and uses) already tandoored chicken, so you might try the online recipe for Tandoori Chicken marinade from Sanjeev Kapoor.

And it's a good job you can spell, "Pith Helmet" could have gone badly wrong ;D

Hi HS,

Got to admit, I'm a little confused too

Are you asking, what do we think of the marinade recipe in this video, to use with Sanjeev butter chicken recipe?

If so, why don't you just use the video that you posted to do the whole thing, as both recipes are very very close?
